im trying to build a UWR control deck but i need help with RtR i think this deck could be really good. we get a uncounterable wrath and and amazing o-ring please help.
Well, I dont know where to start really. Maybe we should break it down somehow:
1. Your deck must be able to deal with fast aggro like American Delver for an example.
2. You must be able to handle combo. There is alot of combo in Modern, but at least its creature oriented mostly. Not all the time, there is still Storm.
3. You must be able to beat Emrakul hardcasted.
That would be what Id focus on beating, with what I know of Modern.
Cards I can at least suggest:
Lightning Bolt-Cheap, efficient, instant speed answer to weenies.
Pyroclasm-Again, cheap, reliable ways to handle weenie aggro decks.
Supreme Verdict-Well, it kills all the midrange guys like Goyf. It also stops the whole Delver decks from just Mana Leaking your sweeper lose combo.
Mana Leak-The ability to supress a spell, and its a 2 drop, plus only 1 blue in the casting cost.
Cryptic CommandHeavy blue, but unbelivably versatile control card.
Lightning Helix-Its in the american color setup. Its a 2 casting cost bolt that gains you 3 life. Great antiaggro card.
Path to Exile-The best white removal spell in Modern.
Sadly, the biggest problem to me is a lack of cheap library manipulation. Control decks rely on answer cards, and the ability to find them in due time, as well as actually drawing more cards during a game. Sleight of Hand and Serum Visions are the best library dig cantrips available, and are pretty lousy. Plus, Control decks have a habit of becoming board control based, and then fall prey to Moderns combo decks. It's odd.

Jace Beleren-He's cheap and fairly reliable draw.
Think Twice-Cheap, instant speed reliable draw.
Detention Sphere-I'm unsure, but it looks like a better oblivion ring for the most part.
Into the Roil/Repeal-A nice way to gain a little ground while not eating card disadvantage. Pretty versatile cards.
Spell Snare-Answers powerful 2 drops.
Mana Leak-The ability to supress a spell, and its a 2 drop, plus only 1 blue in the casting cost.
